Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 

“What are you all chattering about? Can you speak louder? Why do you sound like a woman!” Black Panther couldn’t quite make out the conversation between Quantum and Marina and shouted with a raised voice. 

Quantum felt like his eardrums were about to burst. 

Did this guy put a megaphone in his throat? 

How on earth was he speaking so loudly? 

“It’s nothing. This is also my good friend who came with me to find someone,” Marina explained. 

Upon hearing Marina’s words, Black Panther glanced up and down at Quantum. 

“I must say, Marina, how come your friends are always tiny? See this little creature. I could squash him with just one finger. How can he possibly protect you?” Black Panther had a helpless expression. 

Quantum went speechless. 

“I’ve told you before. You should join me as a pirate on the high seas. It’s carefree and liberating. On the sea, I am the king, and you can do whatever you want without anyone bothering you! 

“Isn’t it better than being with a bunch of Spineless Chickens like this guy?” Black Panther stared at Quantum with disdain. 

Quantum retorted, “Who are you calling a Spineless Chicken? Do you think everyone communicates through fists like you? 

“A real man relies on his brains, not his size. Don’t think you can look down on others just because you’re a burly man with a few pounds of muscle!” Quantum couldn’t stand being called a Spineless Chicken. 

Even if the other party was a fearsome pirate captain, he couldn’t tolerate this insult. 

“What did you say?” Black Panther’s face immediately turned grim upon hearing Quantum’s words. 

The subordinates standing behind Black Panther all looked at Quantum with expressions of pity. 

This Spineless Chicken was truly done for today. 

How dare he spoke such words? 

They knew that the last person who said such things was thrown to the sharks by their boss. 

They wondered how their boss would punish this Spineless Chicken this time. 

“I said a real man relies on intelligence, and size doesn’t matter!” Quantum repeated his statement without realizing the gravity of the situation. 

Even Marina’s eyes started to look at him with sympathy. 

It wasn’t until this moment that Quantum began to sense something was amiss. 

He turned his head in confusion, looking at Marina beside him. 

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Quantum’s voice trembled slightly. 

“You didn’t say anything wrong. You’re incredibly brave, and I salute you as a man!” Marina gave him a thumbs–up. 

“What do you mean…” Before Quantum could ask about the meaning behind Marina’s words, he was abruptly lifted up by Black Panther. 

The sudden lift made Quantum instantly panic.

His legs flailed involuntarily as he stared in fear at Black Panther, who was twice his size, right in front of him. 

“What are you trying to do? Killing people is illegal!” 

“Illegal? Haha.” Black Panther laughed at Quantum’s words. 

The group of subordinates behind Black Panther laughed even more brazenly. 

Quantum immediately realized how foolish his words were. 

They were in the gray area where laws and regulations held no sway.

“Um… Don’t think you can bully me just because you’re physically stronger. If you have the guts, let’s compare our intellectual abilities!” Quantum struggled, attempting to free himself from Black Panther’s grasp. 

However, he soon realized that his strength was no match for his opponent’s. 

“Who wants to compare some useless intellectual abilities with you? I’m going to squash your head right now and see how you can still compare with me!” Black Panther prepared to smack Quantum directly. 

“I’m sorry!” Quantum immediately raised his voice to apologize when he saw Black Panther’s big punch coming at him., 

As soon as the apology escaped his lips, Quantum tightly shut his eyes. 

After a brief moment, he realized that the expected pain did not arrive. 

He slowly opened his eyes and realized Black Panther had stopped the punch. 

Just as he was wondering, Black Panther suddenly released him. 

However, the release was somewhat rough, causing Quantum to plop down on the deck. 

“Marina, since you’re the one who brought this person here, I’ll spare him this time. But if he dares to spout nonsense again next time, I’ll chop him into pieces and feed him to my Little Baby,” Black Panther enunciated each word. 

“Alright, I will remind him firmly,” Marina replied. She didn’t take action earlier because she knew Black Panther wouldn’t actually harm Quantum. 

“Let’s go to my ship,” Black Panther spoke and headed toward the large ship. 

Meanwhile, Marina glanced down at Quantum, who was still sitting on the ground.. 

“You better get up quickly. You’ve really lucked out this time,” Marina said calmly. 

“I didn’t say anything wrong just now. Why did he get so angry? Does he only admire physical strength but despise others who have intellectual capacity?” Quantum struggled to get up, feeling somewhat embarrassed. 

“You still haven’t grasped the main point until now. It wasn’t about that,” Marina’s expression held a hint of profound meaning. 

“What was it then?” Quantum furrowed his brow. 

Besides that statement, he hadn’t said anything else. 

“You said Black Panther is a burly man, right?” Marina looked at Quantum and, out of concern for his well–being, kindly reminded him in order to save his 

own head. 

“Yeah, what’s wrong with that?” Quanturn looked bewildered. 

“Black Panther is a woman,” Marina parted her lips.
